It has been a while since I early hit the salt as I was exploring other avenues and am glad I did they have taught me new skills and sets that can be transfered to improve my own watercraft and skills with a fly,. But go back to 2010 or so and things were all it this and 8wt that all certain rods in vogue etc. I went through too many rods to mention but returned to what works and finally finished the set of go to rods Beluah 4/5 switch rod for Mullet drifting teams of fliesScierra hmx 6wt single handers for Mullet close rangeSnowbee Geo 8wt single for bassCustomer built bloke 8wt single handers for bass / carpFenwick techna av 10'8 switch 9wt for pike and salt general bad weather rodBeluah guide 10wt for pike.

Line wise a mix of airflo 40+ and sniper lines with a Beluah switch craft 250 grain line on the light switch. All bought at sale process or 2nd hand saved a small fortune. That said I do plan on building another 4 custom built bloke rose now 6wt xl50, 9 and 10wt bloke graphene rods and a 5wt bloke switch. A little more expensive but worth it for the perfect rods for my own collection. Then the others will be passed onto my son for his journey is saltwater fly fishing.
